Custom Turbo oil lines

Need to make some custom turbo oil lines and I can't find a write up on where to run oil lines on a NA engine.
Aaroncake did a nice write up but I would like some more pictures of where the lines need to go.

Are you talking about the oil feed for the turbo or the return?

High pressure comes from the rear iron (or thats the only eazy place I see). and return... well thats a good pic ^^^.

I'm interested in both lines. I'm really interested in where other owners are getting their oil feed from and where they are running the return line.
I was thinking about running an oil adapter under the filter so I can get my oil feed from bit I don't know if that's the most efficient way.

I'm mounting the engine with a fc subframe swap. Buddy of mine is crushing a junked old fc and he told me I could grab the subframe and steering column. He also had a T2 front cover lying around with no use so I got that also.
With the T2 front cover I just use the oil feed and drain holes provided.
Simplifies my problems a bit more.

So you have the FC intermediate plate and oil pan? This NA you mentioned is an S4 NA engine?

Yes, my engine is a S4 NA engine.
Yes, I do have a T2 oil pan and a intermediate plate.
Why do you ask?
